"Mr. Scotte, may I?"

The henchman asked Chris very politely.

Only then did Chris react, confirming with a few moments of incredulity, "Are you saying that Rowdy is up to the same old tricks, and Brian almost had a car accident just now?"

"Well, Rowdy tried to create a car accident again." The henchman was relieved when he said, "But Winston is a good driver, and Mr. Lambert had a scare."

"I know." Chris secretly makes an effort to make his voice still sound calm, "I'll stay with Joanne at Prime Villa and wait for Brian to come back."

The henchman smiled, "Then we are relieved."

Chris hung up the phone and went back to the living room.

Joanne and Norris Freya were still chatting about the child, both of their tilted and moving faces had light smiles on them, and it was obvious that they were chatting happily.

Chris put away his cell phone and walked over.

Norris Freya noticed that Gavin's expression was somewhat abnormal and looked at him curiously, "What's wrong? Who's calling?"

"There's something going on in the company, but the staff can handle it, nothing major." Su Chris smiled and changed the topic, "Where did you guys talk about?"

"Well, we just happened to be talking about the baby being born!" Norris Freya looked at Chris with a big smile, "Are you looking forward to it?"

An upward curve appeared at the corner of Chris's lips, "Of course I look forward to it."

He didn't hesitate, and his answer was what Norris Freya was expecting.

But in reality, there was more worry than expectation in his mind.

After Freya became pregnant, he accompanied Freya to the hospital for every checkup, no matter how big or small or important or not.

Norris Freya's physical condition was good, the results of every test were within the normal range, and the development of the fetus was also very healthy.

However, to usher in this little life, Norris Freya has to endure a painful process that is difficult for normal people to bear, a process that is often accompanied by accidents.

Now, there's the added potential danger of Conrad City.

Chris only hoped that Rowdy wouldn't suddenly hit his idea on Norris Freya.

Norris Freya didn't notice Chris's complicated mentality and planted a kiss on his face, saying, "It's soon!"

Joanne looked at the time, Brian should be almost back.

She doesn't want to sit here and be abused by Chris and Norris Freya, so she changes the topic, "Brother, Freya, why don't you guys finish dinner before you go, Brian will be back soon."

Before Norris Freya could say anything, Chris had already answered, "Good."

Chris had something to ask Brian, but he couldn't be known by Joanne and Norris Freya, so staying for dinner was undoubtedly the best choice.

Norris Freya was of course very happy and couldn't wait to start ordering, "Joanne, I want to eat the pickled fish you made!"

A few years ago, when Joanne and Freya were still studying in the United States, both of them were not accustomed to eating foreign fast food, pining for the major domestic dishes, and Freya even wailed every day.

Later, Joanne went online to find a recipe and easily made the pickled fish that Freya had longed for.

Since then, the pickled fish made by Joanne had become an obsession in Norris Freya's heart.

Joanne never refused Norris Freya's request and nodded, "No problem."

"Who says there's no problem?" Chris dismissed Joanne's words without warning and solemnly said, "Joanne, change the pickled fish to fish soup."

After Freya became pregnant, Chris strictly controlled Freya's diet, light mainly, basically do not let Freya touch any heavy flavored things.

Sauerkraut, of course, is in the heavy category.

Joanne didn't react for a moment, looked at Chris and then Norris Freya, and asked in disbelief, "You two, who actually has the final say?"

"Of course I am!"

"It was me then!"

Chris and Norris Freya showed an unprecedented tacit understanding, almost speaking out at the same time, and the certainty in their tone was even more of the same.

Joanne was completely embarrassed, and after thinking about it, she had to say, "You guys should discuss it first ..."

On one side is his own brother, on the other side is his best friend, and coincidentally these two are still married.

Joanne felt that at such a time, she should avoid it.

Coincidentally, brakes squealed outside the door.

Joanne's eyes lit up as if she heard a rescue signal and said, "Brian is back, I'll go out and take a look!"

Going out to take a look, it was really Brian's car.

Brian also saw Joanne, and looking at the way she ran out, his heart felt like it was stroked by a gentle hand.

As soon as the car was parked, Brian pushed open the door and got out.

Joanne smiled and walked towards Brian, before she had time to open her mouth to say anything, Brian had already clasped her hand and asked softly, "Why did you run out alone?"

"It's at home, I'm just going out, no need to be so careful!" Joanne looks at Brian with a smile on her face, "What about that USB flash drive?"

Brian truthfully told Joanne that they had accessed the contents inside the USB flash drive, but they couldn't use it yet.

Joanne understood Wesley's decision and nodded, "Indeed it can't be used, Yuna's current situation is already bad, if Rowdy suspects her again, she will be even more dangerous."

Brian had long guessed that Joanne would have such a reaction and smiled, "I've already told Wesley that we will support his choice!"

Joanne agreed, "Hmmm!" Gave a cry.

Brian clutched Joanne's hand and led her about to enter the house.

"Hey, let's slow down." Joanne pulled Brian, "My brother and Freya are negotiating, let's wait for them to talk about the results before we go in."

Brian was puzzled and raised his eyebrows, "What do they have to talk about?"

"..." Joanne gently "coughed", crying and laughing to explain, "They had a little argument because of food ..."

Brian smiled, "Freya still hasn't changed."

"Hmm?" Joanne took a stride and flashed in front of Brian, looking at him skeptically, "It sounds like you know Freya very well?"

"There is a general understanding." Brian said unhurriedly, "When you guys were still studying in the US, Gavin would regularly report to me about your daily routine, and he would occasionally mention Freya." After a pause, he looks at Joanne and adds seriously, "Of course, what I really understand, is you and only you."

"..." Joanne pursed her lips and smiled, "This level, count you over."

Brian hooked his lips without any trace and did not say anything.

The so-called hard passes that couldn't be broken through didn't even exist in his world.

Joanne pondered for a while, and suddenly, as if she remembered something, she pulled Brian and asked, "In that case, you know me very well, right?"

"Uh-huh." Brian looked at Joanne's clear peach blossom eyes, "If you move your eyebrows, I know what you're thinking?"

"Hey?" Joanne spat, "That's not fair!"

Brian asked nicely, "Where is it unfair?"

Joanne's tone sounded like a gamble as she looked at Brian and said, "You move your eyebrows a lot so I can know what you're thinking."

She seemed, well, serious.

Very seriously, she told Brian that she knew him well too.

Brian smiled, clasped Joanne's waist, slightly exerted dexterity to bring her into his arms, and kissed her lips as soon as he lowered his head.

Married for so long, Brian has "practice makes perfect", gently a kiss, can take away Joanne's sanity, let Joanne feel wonderful extraordinary.

Joanne could also honestly admit that she liked Brian's kisses.

But it's a garden, you can see it from the living room, and there are people coming in and out every minute.

This is definitely not a good place to kiss in broad daylight.

Joanne protested and pushed Brian, this time, Brian unexpectedly did not fall hard for her and quickly left her lips.

However, he didn't let go of her, his deep, boundless eyes staring at her for an instant.

"Bang, bang, bang--"

Joanne heard her heartbeat keep accelerating.

Brian buckled Joanne more tightly, looking at her with a smile, "Shy?"

"No!" Joanne decisively denied it, but after finishing, she felt weak and had to point to the sky, "It's because it's too sunny outside!"

Brian hooked his lips, "In that case, let's go back and continue."

Before Joanne could react, she had already been pulled back inside the house by Brian's hand.

Well, are they really going to continue?

However, Freya and her brother are still in the living room, this is ... not a good influence.

Chris and Norris Freya had been arguing about the pickled fish, and neither of them noticed Brian and Joanne's movements outside the house.

Seeing Joanne come back, Norris Freya willingly compromised with Chris,"Alright ..."

Seeing this, Joanne smoothly asked, "Well, have you decided?"

"Decided ...," Freya's voice was muffled, "I'm going to replace the pickled fish with pine nut fish."

"Good, listen to you!" Joanne looked at the time, "It's already late, I'll go get ready and eat soon."

Chris let go of Norris Freya and said, "Go see if there's anything Joanne needs help with."

"Just go!" Norris Freya, still angry about the pickled fish, gave Chris a "humph", "I don't want to stay with you right now anyway!"

"... "Chris didn't say anything and watched Norris Freya follow Joanne into the kitchen.

Brian did see some clues and didn't speak slowly until he couldn't see Norris Freya's back, "Chris, do you have something to say to me?"

"I know about what happened on your way back." Wesley looks at Brian, "How are you?"

Brian is surprised for a moment and uses a smile to powder the seriousness of the situation, "Your news is even faster than Wesley?" After a pause, he replies to Chris's question, "Winston avoided the truck in time, I wasn't injured."

"That's good." Chris pondered for a moment, "This matter ... should not be told to Joanne."

Chris was not discussing with Brian, but giving Brian a suggestion.

Brian nodded, "That's what I plan to do."

He knew that Chris didn't want Joanne to worry.

He likewise didn't want Joanne to worry for him.

"This is best." Chris hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "What are you and Sir Si planning for the matter of Kent Rui City?"
